Injuries to the spinal cord are extremely serious and can have a permanent impact on the lives of victims and their families.

Common Spinal Cord Injuries
The spinal cord transfers signals from the brain to the rest of your body, and injuries to the spine and spinal cord can result in serious complications that limit your ability to control various bodily functions. In some cases, the damage is irreparable and results in permanent loss of control of your extremities. Most cases of paralysis are classified in one of two ways:
Paraplegia, in which the paralysis is limited to the lower extremities
Quadriplegia, in which the injury occurs high enough on the spinal cord to cause full body paralysis
Patients suffering from paralysis will require special medical treatment for the rest of their lives, and the cost of ongoing care and treatment can be financially disastrous when the burden is unfairly placed upon the victim.
